What's New?

On February 12, 1995, Fox aired Homie The Clown. Arguably the greatest Simpsons episode, it depicts Homer Simpson graduating from clown college and impersonating Krusty the Clown for various events.

During a Krusty Burger promotional event, Homer savagely beats the Krusty Burglar to death. Or does he?. You can watch the scene here.

Let's think about this critically: Homer repeatedly bashed this mans skull against the pavement. A child even cries in despair at the fact that he's dead. Yet, the Krusty Burglar speaks once the beating is over. So was he actually dead? Or was that little boy being dramatic? Nobody knew for sure.

As of September 2026, you can walk into any Jack in the Box and order a Simpson’s themed meal. You get a burger, two tacos, curly fries, and a promo cup. However, the interesting thing is the box all of this crap comes in.

The Krusty Burglars grave, right on Homer's front lawn. Regardless of the Treehouse of Horror theming, it's my professional opinion that this box is canon.

Detractors may claim that the grave isn't proof that Homer killed the Krusy Burglar. Then where did he get the grave, detractor? Where did he get the grave? You may even hear them say that the in-universe actor portraying the Krusty Burglar appears in a later episode, titled “Radioactive Man”. How do you know that's him? The Krusty Burglar had facial hair. Milhouse's stunt double doesn't. Can you prove that Homie the Clown takes place before Radioactive Man? Prove me wrong, detractor. Prove me wrong*! Otherwise, this fast food box is the absolute authority on this. It cannot be refuted!

*I never realized how many Simpsons lines are funny just for being repetitive. It's almost as if repetitiveness is their job or something.

Shut up! Homer getting away with murder is a common occurrence in the Simpsons. In fact, Homer kills dozens of people at the beginning of this very episode. To be fair, that may not be murder. He’d have probably been charged with negligent homicide or manslaughter if held accountable. Springfield has no justice system. Or, if it does, it has given up on trying to contain Homer.
